Section IV. Government Certificate s Legal Entry Requirements For meats, milk, frozen confections, and plant imports to Hong Kong, the relevant Hong Kong laws require that each shipment has to be accompanied by valid health/phytosanitary certificates issued by government authorities. Suppliers or Manufacturers Export Declaration are not regarded as valid certificates.
9 Poultry, Red Meats and Game Meats A certificate from FSIS is compulsory. Species should be given as part of product description on FSIS certificates. If the specie is not covered by FSIS inspection, a certificate issued by APHIS or the state government may be acceptable. If the shipment is of a game meat product, the certificate has to show the scientific name and the origin. If the game meat comes from a CITES listed specie, the shipment requires to be accompanied by a CITES export permit. For beef products, Hong Kong currently allows entry of U.S. boneless beef derived from cattle under 30 months of age. An import protocol for U.S. bison meat to Hong Kong has yet to be established. Seafood Products While no specific Hong Kong laws state health certificates for marine products are compulsory, FEHD strongly encourages importers to obtain certificates issued by U.S. health authorities to accompany their imports certifying that the marine products concerned are fit for human consumption. Valid certificates will expedite customs clearance. The HKG is planning to make certification requirements for seafood products mandatory. Please see GAIN reports HK8002, HK0005 and HK0015. Milk and Frozen Confections Hong Kong laws require the importation of milk and frozen confections to obtain prior approval. In addition, each consignment has to be accompanied by a valid certificate. For products from the U.S., Hong Kong government accepts certificates issued by the State government. Plants Hong Kong government requires plant shipments from the U.S. to be accompanied by phtosanitary certificates issued by APHIS. If the specie is listed on CITES, a CITES export permit is required as well. Products Containing Living Modified Organisms Hong Kong passed a Genetically Modified Organisms (Control of Release) Ordinance and the Genetically Modified Organisms (Documentation for Import and Export) Regulation in March 2010 and November 2010 respectively. There will be documentation requirements for shipments containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) upon the expected commencement of the
10 Ordinance and the Regulation in March GMOs in the Ordinance are referred to as LMOs or living modified organisms. Shipments containing GMOs for food or feed or for processing will need to be accompanied by documentation containing the following information: If the identity of the GMO is known, the shipment contains such a GMO; if the identity of the GMO is not known, the shipment may contain such a GMO; The GMO is not intended for release into the environment; The common name, scientific name and, where available, commercial name of the GMO; The Internet address of the Biosafety Clearing House; The transformation event code of the GMO or, where available, its unique identifier code; and, The details of the importer or exporter (such as name, address and contact information) for further information. There is no specific requirement regarding the form of documentation accompanying GMO shipments. The use of a commercial invoice or other documents required by existing documentation systems would be sufficient. The HKG will upload a document sample listing required information for traders reference at the AFCD s website in late January 2011, ( Products containing GMO ingredients for release into the environment or for contained use are required to provide different attestations on documents. Also, importers are required to seek prior approval from AFCD before the importation of products containing GMOs, which are intended to be released to the environment.
